"EASTON (GREAT), a parish in the hundred of
DUNMOW, county of ESSEX, 2½ miles (N. N. W.) from
Great Dunmow, containing 755 inhabitants. The living
is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Middlesex, and diocese
of London, rated in the king's books at £8. 13. 4.,
and in the patronage of R. Saumarez, Esq. and Lord
Viscount Maynard alternately. The church is dedicated
to St. John. In 1759, Rebecca Mead bequeathed tenements
and land, now producing £38 per annum, for
clothing and teaching ten girls; and in 1761, Charles,
Lord Maynard, endowed a school for six boys of this
parish, and six of Little Easton. There is a small sum
for apprenticing children." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
